The TASCOE/NASCOE Awards Program recognizes both CED’s and PT’s who are TASCOE members with outstanding contributions in the area of service to TASCOE/NASCOE, FSA/Agriculture, or Community Service. Nominations for these awards are competitive. Nominations are also selected and submitted for SW Area and NASCOE Award consideration in each of the three award categories.

Any member of the association is eligible to nominate or be nominated for these honors. Below you will find links to all the Award Program materials except for the NASCOE Awards Manual and the Awards Powerpoint Presentation. These can be downloaded from www.nascoe.org/awards.htm. The Awards PP Presentation is very informative and contains most of the information needed to submit award nominations. As well as finding all the required forms for your nomination, you may also view the nominations for the 2008 award winners to give you an example on how to write your nomination. Again, the DSA Nomination Forms along with the signed DSA Cover Sheet will need to be submitted by February 1st to be judged and selected for Southwest Area Award consideration.

For our TASCOE convention during the summer of ‘09, we will be selecting a CED and a PT for each of these categories. Please take the time out to nominate someone in your area for one of these awards. Show someone that all of their hard work whether it be in community, agriculture, or NASCOE is very much appreciated!
